Before, someone asked the park what rides were going to be open, and they barely mentioned any that would be closed. I don't believe that anymore. Someone recently said all wooden coasters are going to be closed. That makes more sense to me.

My bets are really only for coasters of V2 (because it operated on a a HIGH of 40 degree day (NOT the LOW of 40) in November / one of the few / only coasters open during the BEGINNING of that day / until the temperature got warmer) - This was last year. Anyway, I'm going with V2, both Batmans, and the Joker as being open during at least part of the day. Whizzer is already closed. Heard about no wooden. X-Flight I feel is too heavy / bulky, and feels really slow during the regular season / not to mention in really cold weather. Sure, they could always play the let's hope for warm weather, and than we can operate X-Flight on a day when it's not that cold. For Giant Drop in the cold, I would think the releasing mechanism would get stuck at the top in really cold weather plus the cables whipping around on the tower because of high winds.

I don't expect this event to be a rider's paradise like people are hoping for. I don't think it will be like Kings Islands only having 5 rides open, but I wouldn't expect (especially a lot of roller coasters).

I have found that Tomahawk (a ride like Revolution) opens at Six Flags New England, so forget the all Huss rides might be closed. Revolution is probably going to be open if it's open at New England.

With rides, I just say don't expect TOO MUCH out of it because I think people will be disappointed if you think all these rides are going to operate like in June.

Our brightest holiday celebration kicks off for the first time in park history on November 23. At this all-new seasonal event, you’ll find everything you need to celebrate the most wonderful time of year. Here are seven incredible ways our holiday party is better than any other one in town.

1. View holiday lights – from the top of a coaster!Sure, you could drive around your neighborhood to see beautiful light displays, but nothing quite beats the view from above. Rise up the staggering lift hill on Raging Bull or fly to the top of Giant Drop to see the entire town twinkling at once. It’s the same views Santa gets!

2. Tell Santa what you want for Christmas.Instead of visiting Santa at your local shopping mall, you’ll get the entire North Pole experience at Six Flags. Jolly St. Nick has come down from the North Pole and set up shop right here at the park. Step inside the warmth of his workshop to meet some friendly elves and tell Santa your holiday wishes.

3. Enjoy a fresh funnel cake – with a side of hot chocolate!Not only can you enjoy all your favorite park fare, but we’re also introducing new seasonal selections. Keep warm with a cup of hot chocolate, flavored coffees, or soup and chili in bread bowls. Enjoy fall funnel cake flavors, holiday fudge, and decorated caramel apples.

4. Marvel at a 50-foot tall Christmas tree.Our stunning holiday centerpiece is much bigger than the one in your living room. This 50-foot structure lights up each night with an extravagant ceremony and provides a stunning backdrop for your holiday photos.

5. Roast your own s’mores treat.Our toasty fire pits offer a warm respite to chilly nights. As you heat up your hands, you can make your own sweet treat! Pick up a S’mores kit to roast a marshmallow over the flames and pile it on a graham cracker with melty chocolate.

6. Sing along to live holiday carols.The sounds of jingle bells and holiday harmonies are sure to get you in the spirit. Our charming performers create new renditions of classic yules. Enjoy live street carolers, family dance parties, dazzling light displays, and more. You’ll hear traditional holiday music like you’ve never heard it before.

Just going to say though not to take anything in here as a fact, because I know one thing mentioned at this link is definitely false.

Isn't it just one section of track that was removed from Whizzer that would need to be put back??

Many of your favorite rides will be open during Holiday in the Park. While some of our attractions will be closed, we have added seasonal attractions and entertainment options for everyone in your party to enjoy! Certain rides and attractions may close temporarily during inclement weather. The following rides are scheduled to be open during Holiday in the Park:

So every steel coaster except Whizzer and Demon are expected to operate. I was expecting more flat rides to be open, but overall it's a pretty diverse selection of rides. I'm excited to see if they do anything special for Chubasco or Rue Le Dodge.

The balloons definitely should be able to open during this event as they are open at St. Nicohlas's Village in Dundee during December last year. Don't understand that? I don't see why Whirligig is a problem because on the same day last year when the high was about 40 degrees (again the NOT the low temperature), Whirligig was one of those FEW rides open when it probably was in the 38 degree range. Very confusing?

If Six Flags New England can run Tomahawk, I don't get why they can't run Revolution?

Raging Bull doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Is that just a hope & pray you get warm weather some days, and it will be open. They better turn off all those trims on that ride.

That page definitely is not done. They have under Christmas shows, ride Viper, and Hurricane Mountain (waterpark). lol.

^ Yeah the page needs some work but it's a good thing they have time to work on the page because HITP is only in a few weeks.

Also what is with Raging Bull running, welp I hope I don't or anyone else gets frostbite. X-Flight would be a nice ride to run during the event. About Merry Market Place, I wish it would have been in Hometown Square to keep the whole are themed. The rest of the things make sense and we will experience a holiday experience in Chubasco.

This means NOTHING. The maintenance schedule for all the rides changes. There may be certain rides that maintenance wants closed to do off-season work on. A lot of the flats get dismantled or have lots of sections removed.

I would expect the coasters that are open to only run one train as well. Bull's 3rd train is already done.

Whizzer is done for the year. The app says so and there's no way it would operate in HITP weather. They have problems with it during Freight Fest. Plus the entire area behind Whizzer is a construction zone.

I wasn't talking about Whizzer running for HITP but for the Last Call festival.....

I can't agree too much with this. Yes, ADULTS might be partying, and drinking; but a TON of the people that ride these rides are not adults. You have a TON of teenagers, and younger which should not be drinking anything at all. The park is also opening at 2pm which should be late for the parents to drive the family to the park. I thnk it's dumb it's not open that day, but maybe it has to do with people get paid more money because New Years day is a (stupid / idiotic holiday- in my opinion, but oh well) holiday.
